What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? Sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to tr

ansfer when the molecules are close together. Sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. Sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. Sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

The speed of sound depends on any form of matter or medium in which sound travels through it and depends on the amount of molecular collisions. Sound travels slowest in gas in the form of steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart making it harder for the energy of vibrations hit the particles and make sound.

Moreover, sound travelling through solids like ice is much faster because the particles are closer together so the sound waves do not have to travel that far making the number of collisions greater and sound spread more easily.

<h3>What is the Earth system?</h3>
  • The interactions between Earth's five systems—the geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere—create the conditions we are accustomed to.
  • The rock cycle, the food chain, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, the water cycle, and the energy cycle are a few examples found in the Earth system.
  • The major Earth circulation processes that move water, carbon, and nutrients renew essential elements for life and contribute to climate control. The continents, atmosphere, oceans, ice, and life on Earth are dynamic elements that constantly change and interact in a wide variety of ways.
  • A system is made up of four independent spheres. A change in one sphere may result in another change because the spheres interact. Fields are plowed by humans (biosphere) using farm equipment made of geosphere materials, while plants are watered by precipitation (hydrosphere) brought by the atmosphere.

1.Particles are spaced the farthest apart in _____ and are the closest in ______. Select the answer that best completes the sent
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

gases; solids.

Explanation:

gases take up the most volume, meaning the particles are more spread apart (disorder, entropy, etc. if you are familiar with those). solids have the particles closer together, opposite of gases.
